Interesting quote:
Mohammad, 38, runs an Asian grocery store in Tsunashima, Yokohama. The Sri Lankan had 520,000 yen in savings, and was thinking of donating 300,000 yen towards the purchase of the mosque. He changed his mind and donated 500,000 yen, virtually emptying his account.
Indian Muslim Nasr-abdllah, 49, who runs an Asian food store in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward, married a Japanese woman 16 years ago. “The Japanese do good deeds but worry too much about other people’s opinion. Sometimes my wife is preoccupied with school and garbage collection and ends up delaying her prayers,” says Nasr-abdllah with a wry smile.
